New domain name for The Guitar Channel 2006-09-25 22:02:30 After 2 years, I've finally gotten around to registering a new domian name for The GuitarChannel
. The new url is:
http://www.guitar-channel.com
The site has not moved (the old url will still work). The new domain
name just forwards to the Typepad site. I still have a few links to update, but it should be good to go.
Also, I've made some changes to the title information that gets displayed when you play the Guitar Channel stream. I'm still working on it. It should just have the url, with the song artist and title afterwards. Depending on the player you are using, the SHOUTcast description may appear in the scroll as well. I'd rather not have that, but it's a work in progress. The stream may stop and start sometimes over the next couple of days while I tweak it.
